BRIEF OVERVIEW: This book lets the reader take a look through one window that changes throughout the story. The point of view starts out as a young boy looking out his window in a rural town and shows you how his window looks as he grows up. As he grows, what is outside his window becomes more industrialized.
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY: Have the students take home a sheet of white printer paper to draw on. They will be drawing what they see when they look outside their bedroom window. To add to this, you could read the book at the beginning of the year and draw one window at the beginning of the school year and one at the end to see if it changes any.
